The story follows Jiang Zhu, a “Jade-Waisted Slave”, who must find a “Jade Gentleman” on the night of the full moon after coming of age, and engage in dual cultivation to absorb his vital yang energy in order to survive the Cold Bone Syndrome. Initially determined to hunt down the Jade-Waisted Slaves, the powerful statesman Shen Miu is unexpectedly affected by a love spell cast by Jiang Zhu, forcing him to protect her against his will. Jiang Zhu’s passionate and free-spirited nature brings Shen Miu—who is disciplined and suppresses his desires—a vivid experience he has never known before. As they spend time together, they gradually awaken to the meaning of love and ultimately join forces to clear the injustices suffered by the Jade-Waisted Slaves.
